Biography

Golden Chyld is the newest reggae artist to emerge from the dancehall music scene. As a breakout solo artist, Golden Chyld's music incorporates his Jamaican roots with influences from North America. The fusion of the two cultures creates a dancehall album with hip hop beats, which at times, mix together and include a dash of alternative. Born in Canada to Jamaican/Chinese parents, Golden Chyld was delivered into a music loving family and was immersed in the reggae culture from his early childhood years. Growing up in the heart of downtown Montego Bay, not a night passed when the Local DJ set across the street didn't “string up” and “juggle” the latest in dancehall music. Though Canadian born, moving back to Canada proved to be a culture shock for the budding artist. In his struggle to fit in, he along with a childhood friend formed an alternative/ rock band that called themselves “The Tribe.” It was during this time that Golden Chyld was exposed to music outside of the realm of Reggae. Bands like U2, The Cure and Depeche Mode to name a few. But after accompanying his brothers band to Jamaica to perform at Reggae Sumfest his passion for Reggae music was reignited. As the youngest of four brothers, Golden Chyld grew up emulating his older siblings, two; who were founding members of a very successful Canadian Reggae Band “Leejahn.” Attending late night rehearsals, studio sessions and live shows with the band were instrumental in developing his hunger and love of the stage. After coming of age, the band eventually took him under their wings, where he continued to hone his performance and song writing skills. He spent many years attending Reggae Sumfest, becoming inspired by artists such as Buju Banton, Beenie Man and Bounty Killa.
